2. Radio-controlled car - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-controlled_car

   Radio-controlled cars, or RC cars for short, [1] are miniature vehicles (cars, vans, buses, buggies, etc.) controlled via radio.. Nitro powered models use glow plug engines, small internal combustion engines fuelled by a special mixture of nitromethane, methanol, and oil (in most cases a blend of castor oil and synthetic oil).

3. Radio-controlled model - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-controlled_model

   A radio-controlled car is a powered model car driven from a distance. Gasoline, nitro-methanol and electric cars exist, designed to be run both on and off-road. "Gas" cars traditionally use petrol (gasoline), though many hobbyists run 'nitro' cars, using a mixture of methanol and nitromethane, to get their power.

4. Nitro engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitro_engine

   Nitro engines for models can turn in excess of 50,000 RPM. Typical operating rpm for sport model aircraft engines is 10,000–14,000 RPM. For radio control (RC) boats and ducted fan aircraft engines, 20,000–25,000 is the usual range, and for cars RPM in the range of 25,000–37,000 is common. With this much movement, a lot of frictional heat ...

5. Model engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_engine

   This article concerns itself with the methanol engines; gasoline-powered model engines are similar to those built for use in string trimmers, chainsaws, and other yard equipment, unless they happen to be purpose-built for aeromodeling use, being especially true for four-stroke gasoline-fueled model engines. Such engines usually use a fuel that ...

6. Cox Models - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cox_Models

   This product was developed into a "whip car", a tethered vehicle which could be manually swung in a circle at high speed. Nitro- and gasoline-powered tether cars with .60 cubic inch miniature engines capable of speeds of 100 mph (160 km/h) were quickly becoming popular. Cox's first contribution to that growing hobby was a cast aluminum midget ...

   The IFMAR World Championship for 1:8th IC Off-Road Cars (officially "IFMAR 1:8 IC Off-Road World Championship", nicknamed Nitro Buggy Worlds [1]), is a world championship radio controlled car race hosted by the International Federation of Model Auto Racing (IFMAR). It takes place biennially on even years since 1986.
